The color is deep dark ruby. limpid and brilliant. The nose is intense and complex with hints of blackberries, sweet spicies, cedar and vanilla. The palate is full bodied, very long with well integrated tannins. The finish is very fresh and luscious with toasted notes in the background.
Served with red meat (beef filet, sirloin), pork tenderloin, roasted duck breast with honey&orange sauce, roasted lamb with thyme, poultry and fine cheese.
"Light tannins and rich fruit make this a velvet-textured wine. Full black fruits are concentrated and dark hued. Bold and ripe, the wine needs more aging. Drink from 2025. - Roger Voss"

"This wine is maturing well. The tannins have softened, with ripe fruits and an open texture giving the wine its juicy attraction. Drink from 2024. — Roger Voss"

"A purple-colored, young wine dominated by Merlot, this is rich, structured and full of blackberries. With a good balance between the fruit and the tannins already in place, it shows excellent potential. Drink this already delicious but still firm wine from 2022. - ROGER VOSS"

"Based on 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec, the 2015 Chateau Brule Secaille Grande Reserve Cotes de Bourg spent a year in 40% American oak, with one-third being new. Black fruits, spicy oak, underbrush, and cedar notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced 2015 that has solid mid-palate depth and ample fruit. It’s a fleshy, charming effort that has loads of character."

"This ripe, rounded wine is just setting out on the aging process. Still showing its wood-aging spice, it also has black-currant fruits and balanced acidity. It will develop well over the next few years and should be ready to drink from 2021. - ROGER VOSS"
